  I Researched For A Year . . . - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By Spooky - August 8 - 2:00 am

  I needed a powerful car. A comfortable car. A car to accomodate my 65" frame. And one with all the requisite bells and whistles. The I35 fit the bill in all respects. In the end it was a choice between the new Saab 9-3 and Infiniti (BMW 5 too small; Lexus dowdy/not my personal style; Audi A4 too small; Jaguar X-Type too expensive/bad history). I must admit the Saab was all over the I35 in terms of exterior style AND interior layout-- gotta love the info screen atop the dashboard! Alas, the Saab was lacking in power and had less "niceties", ie. no cassette??? Infinitis overall value was, in the end, impossible to pass up.

  Im a fan - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By Infiniti fan - August 5 - 9:30 am

  I love this car. I agree with other reviewers about the turning radius - its like driving a truck. Otherwise, its a great car for the money. The extra features can not be found on any other car for the money. Gas mileage is so-so, but trade-off for the high HP. Have had brakes replaced, but I do mostly city driving. Had a G35 loaner (sticker $44,000) and I hated it. No extra features. This is a much better value. If you can find a used one coming off lease - BUY IT!! The G35 is aimed a t a much younger demographic. I am 48 - female.

  An under the radar superstar! - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By JDA - June 7 - 7:00 am

  My unreliable E430 had to go; I wanted a reliable, fast, sedan, with a hint of luxury. I had a Maxima before the Mercedes, so I decided to try a "Luxury Maxima." Picked one up used/cheap, since they have been discontinued and are overshadowed by the G35, and have now had it 6 months. Nondescript exterior style does not draw attention to the powerful V-6 underneath. Seriously: people underestimate this car all the time - until you blow them away; the engine delivers power at all speeds. I have averaged 22 mpg in mixed driving. I have had two minor service issues, but both were covered under warranty - Roseville Infiniti has treated us well...so far: they know I want a G35 in 2008.

  A fast sleeper - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By David - June 12 - 3:56 am

  This is my 2nd Infiniti, my first is a 96 I30t (still own) If this car holds up like the 1996 model I will be a satisfied customer! This is a fast highway car, passing cars has no strain or sweat associated with it. Seats are comfy everything works, stereo slams but not distorted. Fuel economy is freakishly good ( my trip computer lines up with my manual calculations 34-35 mpg going 65 mph in Ohio and PA roads! (no kidding 34-35 mpg) Smoothness and reliability are the trademarks here, looks good too.

  Grea Car for the Money - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By TN - April 3 - 1:00 pm

  I have now owned the I35 for over 3 years now. It has been a great car for the money. The car has 255 hp with a smoother ride than DTS. Awesome inside. The inside is layed out very nice and you feel like you are in a $40,000+ car. I paid 28,500 for mine and that included the winter package.

  Solid car for the money - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By Tom - July 26 - 6:43 am

  I bought this car looking for comfort, performance/sportiness, luxury/sleek elegant look and a bit of exclusivity. 12k miles into it Ive found all this and then some. Among the competition, (es300/TL), I went with the i35 due to its performance (3.5L versus 3.0, 3.2), comparable gas mileage (20/26), comfort in the little things (sunshade, rear heated seats, sojourner leather), build quality and reliability (its a maxima in disguise). TLs and ES300s are a dime a dozen, this car was Infinitis hidden car. Its nice to roll in a car that has a lot of everything, yet isnt seen 5 times in 1 in block. The ride is very smooth and no major issues have arrived.

  Good Near Luxury vehicle - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By RJS - March 26 - 5:50 pm

  The vehicle is a good Near luxery vehicle for people who do not need a fast, spirited driving machine. The 4 speed auto is reluctant and going up hill when you bring the pedal to the floor you can feel a loss of power briefly while the tranny take sits time to downshift. the engine overall is powerfull but not what i expect in this class.

  external noise - 2003 Infiniti I35
  By G V - December 4 - 3:33 am

  Ive had the I35 for the past 3 years. I could hear external noise (like wind) when driving at 70 mph. I also have a Camry for a comparison purpose and hence will go for a lexus next time
